Which is why she hires escort Michael Phan. The Vietnamese and Swedish stunner can't afford to turn down Stella's offer, and agrees to help her check off all the boxes on her lesson plan--from foreplay to more-than-missionary position...

Before long, Stella not only learns to appreciate his kisses, but crave all of the other things he's making her feel. Their no-nonsense partnership starts making a strange kind of sense. And the pattern that emerges will convince Stella that love is the best kind of logic...

Mia Hart knows she shouldn’t get involved, but when she sees a man standing dangerously close to the overflowing banks of a raging creek behind her apartment complex during a heavy downpour, there’s no way she can just ignore him.

There’s four very good reasons why she has given up on finding love, but when the puzzle of Thaylan soon becomes more important than the mystery of his vigil, can Mia resist their growing attraction knowing that she’s risking something more dangerous than a broken heart, or will a shocking revelation related to Thaylan’s vigil lead to something amazing—or tragic?

But when the drop-dead gorgeous Sam Harrington and his cute daughter waltz into her life, Chan’s world turns upside down.

And what about the handsome Jeremy who is courting her? The man who, according to her fortune reading, is destined to be her soul mate? Is her attraction to Sam nothing more than a short, intense blaze? Or is it something more?
